When People do a search online, what are they after? Well; simple it’s information. People are always in the market for information, they are always hungry for it. It is in the human nature to want to learn, and acquire information.

Simple questions get simple answers. Some questions are more complex and require more research. Many people that have the means would rather buy a ready made solution. Instead of doing the hours of required research need to attain the answer.

The more complex the question is, the more people are willing to pay for an answer.

Special reports are usually focused on answering a single problem or teaching a specific method for something and have a lot less fluff and filler than ebooks often do.

White papers – Sometimes the answer to a question can be contained in a page or two – a list of resources, for example.

Videos- People who seek information love video, and they are willing to pay more for them. With the ease of the Flip Cam, and screen capture pages such as Camtasia, its as easy as 1,2 and 3 to put out the information that hungry buyers want.
